Every second Sunday in May is Mother . Weeks before, reminds the flowers, candy- to pay and cosmetics industry from our parent gifts or a whole day. But where is the real source of the Mother's Day? In ancient Greece. The primordial mother is the goddess of the old customs Rhea, mother of all gods and goddesses. It developed around a great mother Rhea cult and it was celebrated by the ancient Greeks in the major spring celebration.
In England of the 17th Century came from a festival which was originally the mother of God dedicated, was the "Mothering Sunday". On this day, the mothers and grandmothers were visited, and we brought them with small tokens, such as a cake or jewelry. There was then a great feast held and spent the day in proper context of the family.
could assert the right Mother's Day until early in the 20th Century, where he came from America to England then to Germany. A woman named Ann Marie Jarvis distributed 1906 to the first anniversary of her mother in her church in the U.S. white carnations memory. This action was well received, and already the second anniversary of the death of the mother became the "General Memorial Day of all Mothers" was proclaimed. It has now brought the ball rolling, until finally, almost all American states joined the movement. In May 1914, the then U.S. President Woodrow Wilson of the 2nd Sunday of May was proclaimed as an official national holiday. This day was seen as an expression of love and gratitude that it gives to the mothers.
Ann Marie Jarvis, however, soon repented of having created this Mother's Day movement to life, as the idea became more and more faded and this festival more and more a celebration of profit.
over England, where was the "Mothering Day" picked up again, Mother was in 1922 then to Germany. Here, this idea was immediately taken up by the Association of German florists, and even today it is still the case that on Mother's Day flowers are mostly wasted.
Sorry, this Mother's grown into a big business, and the meaning of this festival is more and more lost. However, I know people who worship their mother very much, even beyond death, and for this Mother's has then also a real and specific meaning.
The dead mother gives you that day white carnations, the living mother gives you red carnations. It says the custom.
